Before senior year, Ellie is determined to take risks and have a life-changing summer, starting with her Anti-Wallflower List - thirteen items she‘s going to check off one by one. But when number four on Ellie‘s list goes horribly wrong-revenge on Jack-she finds herself stuck in a car with him, driving to a magical convention. As they travel down the coast of California, Ellie realizes that number thirteen on her list-fall in love-may be happening without her even realizing it. In The Charmed List, Julie Abe sweeps readers away to a secret magical world, complete with cupcakes and tea with added sparks of joy, and an enchanted cottage where you can dance under the stars.
